Hi guys,
A question for those who live outside of the USA - I'm keen to get onto reviewing more books especially from publishers/authors etc but the few attempts I have made so far with publishers on this site suggest they don't ship ARCs to Taiw...
Asking me this is like asking a mother which child she loves more!
About Me:
I'm a complete bookaholic. I love to read books. I love to talk about books. I love to write about books. I love to look at books. I love to smell books. It's all about the books.
I am the national bestselling, award winning author of six critically acclaimed novels.
On Jan 9th, 2010 my debut novel, SUGAR will celebrate its 10th anniversary and in order to commemorate this milestone I am campaigning to sell 10,000 copies between now and that date.
“Bernice L. McFadden's first novel begins with the brief, poetic description of a crime so startling that the reader is helplessly drawn in, as if a bright red door stood ajar on a bleak and forbidding house. Pearl Taylor's daughter, Jude, has been found murdered and mutilated near a field at the edge of town. "The murder had white man written all over it," writes McFadden. "But no one would say it above a whisper. It was 1940. It was Bigelow, Arkansas. It was a black child. Need any more be said?" In the years that follow, Pearl catches sight of Jude in so many strangers that when Sugar Lacey comes to town and sets up her unwholesome "business" in the house next door, she doesn't know whether to believe what she sees in Sugar's face: a striking similarity to Jude, dead 15 years. In her sedate but supple prose--rising at times to a light, unforced lyricism in the description of landscape or character--the author perfectly renders the closed and protective society of a small Southern town, the superstitions, gossip, and prying.”
I’m asking that you purchase a copy of SUGAR for yourself, a friend or family member. Sugar is also available on KINDLE. And if you could help spread the word by blogging, twittering ad Face-booking my campaign, it would mean the world to me.
Hey, thanks Kathryn. I'm looking forward to keeping up with your blog, too! Also, I'm intrigued by your master's thesis. What angle are you taking on post-9/11 literature? Which novels are you considering?
Hi Kathryn,
That sounds awesome. If you could post the review to Amazon as well - I would be very grateful. Thank you so much. I hope you like Homeless. Only a few people have read it so far that I know of.

Thanks for the friend request. I think you'd like Love Waits. A gal (who's 58) on Facebook who just read it said that it's one of the best books she's ever read. Another gal on Goodreads said her teenage daughter can't stop talking about it. So I guess I might have created a miracle that crosses the generational lines.
Take care!
Don
